    For those of you who thought the $9000/kwh was a random number. This actually happened for a short time in Texas after a winter storm took down most of the grid in 2021.

    I’m all for dynamic pricing and other financial incentives to encourage more efficient use of power but there definitely needs to be some sort of insurance against black swan events taking peoples life savings while they try not to freeze .
